ABOUT THE UNIT:
Bridgeport Clinical Services are designed for individuals who have a range of clinical needs but tend to require less intensive case management and community-based skills building. Consumers served by Clinical Services work with a licensed clinician who assists them to develop and implement a person-centered, coordinated recovery plan. These clinicians also provide a full range of individual, group and family therapies.
CS consumers have access to Recovery Pathways (RP) workers. RP staff offer traditional case management, as well as skills training (e.g. money management). RP support tends to be more intermittent and generally ranges from 1-3 hours per month. The function of this level of support is to assist individuals in cultivating greater independence in community living by use of problem solving skills, building towards improved self sufficiency and improving social networks within their own environment. Life skills seminars will be offered to assist individuals toward goals and objectives of independent living in accordance with the consumer’s specific recovery goals and objectives.
